Birds of a feather

When Raquel House stopped by her local Elkhart, Indiana McDonald's to pick up dinner last week she found something odd in one of her McNuggets: a feather.

“I started to feel like there was hair in my mouth, and that’s when I saw that there was white hair on my tongue; and I looked at my food, and there was feathers coming off the nugget,” House told a ABC57.com reporter.

Meanwhile, House filed a complaint with McDonald's but didn't want to wait for them to do the investigation so they took the McFeather to the owner/operator of Prairie Winds Nature Farm, where she both raises and processes chickens. After examining the object, she determined the strange object was a pin feather.

“It looks like a small pin-feather, from a broiler-type chicken that would be used for meat in just about any kind of processed chicken product,” Wolfe told ABC57.com, adding that the defeathering process can break the pin feather and lodge it in the bird’s skin.

On the upside, consumers may be a little relieve to learn that McNuggets are actually made from chicken....even if it is a pink, slimy, Play-Doh-y kind.

No Sugar, No Carbs, No Sleep

If you don't "Run on Dunkin'" like me, you probably love Red Bull.

Red Bull is launching a zero-calorie version of its energy drink: Red Bull Total Zero. Available April 2, Red Bull Total Zero will contain no sugar or carbs and will instead be sweetened with aspartame, sucralose and acesulfame.

Red Bull Total Zero is supposed to taste like the classic flavor, with a "new twist." 

The move to zero-calorie follows in the footsteps of rival energy drink company Monster which has found early success with Monster Absolute Zero, according to BevNet.

SHOE-gar Daddy!

I could not make this up if I tried! 

"Get a pair of shoes from Shoes Shoes Shoes and get a free man!"is the actual slogan of a "Shoe Dating" marketing campaign from Shoes Shoes Shoes, a store in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Shoes, Shoes, Shoes has started thinking outside of the shoebox and teamed up with Lunch Actually, a dating website, to pair shoe-obsessed women with men who will pay for for their purchases...in exchange for a date.

Men sign up on Lunch Actually and pick out 20 shoes that they would like to see a potential date wear, pledging to pay for anywhere from 10 to 100 percent of the cost of the shoe. When a woman makes a purchase at Shoes Shoes Shoes, she can then go online and check out her potential dates' profiles. After one date, a woman can be reimbursed by her match.

Shoe prostitution? The store writes on its Facebook page:

Why sit and wait for Mr. Right to drop from the sky? Go do what you like most first - shop for shoes and live out your "Sex And The City" dreams (think Carrie!). and leave it to the professionals to find you your Mr. Big. with a possible discount of 100% to boot.

Most commenters on the store's Facebook page seem to love the idea -- and the shirtless male models Shoes Shoes Shoes has put in its store.

Brilliant marketing or just plain sexist?

Peyton to Denver

The Peyton Manning free agency bonanza is apparently over and Manning has chosen to be the next quarterback of the Denver Broncos. 

After parting ways with Colts after 14 seasons, the 4X NFL MVP made his first free agent visit to Denver, spending several hours with Broncos exec and legend John Elway, head coach John Fox and other team officials. According to Jay Glazer of Fox Sports, the numbers of the agreement being negotiated between the Broncos and Manning's agent were previously agreed to during the quarterback's visit. Glazer tweets, "Getting financials done is easy. They told him in that first visit at dinner they could offer 95 mil over 5 years."

So that seems like a done deal....What's next? Trading Tim Tebow. Hard to believe that little more than 2 months after TebowMania hit its apex during the playoffs, that Tebow is headed for the trading block!

Go Away, Siri!
